If a year ago it was Piqué, a soccer player and Shakira, his partner, who made social networks and maternity blogs and babies talk about them after their son was born through a scheduled caesarean section, today Iker Casillas, another soccer player, and Sara Carbonero, your partner, after give birth to your baby in a more than possible "inne-cesarean", which is already causing comments on the internet.
As with Shakira, it’s not that in Babies and more We are very aware of the births of the famous, because this is not a news blog of the heart, but when the birth of a famous, mirror of many women, happens by choosing a caesarean section, surgical procedure that should be carried out only when medically necessary, on a chosen day, without giving birth, we have to talk about it, and more if from the media it is explained as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
That eye, I understand that the media try to inform and do not have to enter to assess whether it is normal or not to give birth by caesarean section without being necessary, but when the comment is not made, when omitted, it is possible that there are those who think that it is something normal, habitual and that, in doing so a beautiful and famous woman, who can give birth (in principle) as she wishes, is desirable.
What am i referring to
Well, as El País explains today, yesterday Thursday Sara Carbonero and her partner went to the Ruber Clinic, where the doctor informed them that his son was already ready to be born, staying for today to give birth to the creature.
I repeat, it is not that the journalist has to add the newsletter "since when do doctors know when a child is ready to be born", because it would be out of place, but the information is there, as if it were something normal, and (they) hurt me The eyes just read it.
When is a baby ready to go out?
To know when a baby is going to be born, they calculate, from the date of the last rule, the estimated due date. It is an indicative date, probably misnamed, because almost no child is born that day exactly. Come on, that by calendar impossible to know.
If we take into account the weeks of gestation, until now, births between 37 and 42 have been considered term delivery, but this has changed recently, because experts say that it is not the same to be born in week 37 than in the week 42 because those born before have a worse development of the organs and are born worse adapted to the environment (worse temperature control, more immature lungs, etc.).
That is, if the doctor told them that she was ready to be born by the week of pregnancy, well I don't know, maybe she was already 40 weeks or more, but even if it is, it is preferable to let the apple fall from the tree when she I decide, that is, that the woman goes into labor because the baby tells the world that she is ready to be born.
Because of course, not all deliveries last the same. Some babies are prepared to be born in certain weeks of gestation and others are in others. A study we discussed a few months ago showed that the normal duration of a birth can vary up to 37 days. Almost nothing ... come on, so that by eye it is almost impossible to say that "is ready to be born."
If we add to all this that gynecologists, with ultrasound, have a fairly high error rate calculating the weight of babies (my second child weighed 2,400 kg a week before birth and was born weighing 2,010 kg), because I would not know how to say how You can know that a baby is ready to be born.
Will you tell me that with a vaginal touch, But is that neither is it worth. The women who have been touched near the day of delivery, have been told that they still have a few days, if not a couple of weeks, and the next day they were hugging their baby.
So no, the doctor shouldn't have said that the baby was ready to leave because can't know, unless you have skipped everything you said to the bullfighter and said that "as you are already over 37 weeks, when you want." And since it was Friday, Iker Casillas was on leave and the weekend is coming, he hears "tomorrow."
And Martín was born by caesarean section
And so it has been. Martín Casillas Carbonero was born today by caesarean section, because the doctor and his parents wanted him to be born today, and not when the child and mother nature were going to decide. It has weighed 3,850 kg and both he and his mother are fine.
Now I just hope that this birth, a la carte, does not become the aspiration of many women. I also hope that, that medical treatment, a la carte, also does not occur in any hospital in the world. For the sake of the baby and for the sake of the mother because, remember, giving birth by caesarean section carries more risks for the mother and the baby than giving birth naturally.
